	The run was a textbook example of perfect from start to finish. We formulated the majority of our plan on the way there, in the plane and sorted out the fine details once we touched down. I summoned and bound the air spirit of French bakeries to help with the fireworks and for combat but it never came to blows. Not for the lack of trying on interpols' part though, we just happened to have some great disguises and Moth is the best grifter I’ve ever seen. Also saw a unicorn on an airplane, which is a first for me and Nitro says he saw a dragon.		The run was a textbook example of perfect from start to finish.

			This run almost made me feel like I was back on the job with Aztechnology. No complications, no gunfire, just setting up some explosives and hitting the detonator and we were done. (Albeit, these explosives were much more colorful and fun than my normal gear.) That’s not to say this couldn’t have gone sideways three or four different times, but Moth and Zephyr were pros and got us out smooth as silk. That was even more impressive given the dragon prowling around the area. The others will deny it, but I know what I saw. We were lucky to get out of there before Lofyr himself took notice and ate us.

			The runners got away clean. Interpol is not pursuing them.

			The J is likely caught soon after. They kept an eye on news feeds for what happened that night. It really did seem like it was a gesture for Astra's memory. Nothing terrible happened that they could detect at that same time.

			They returned home richer and with fun memories of Paris.

	But they were stopped in the lobby of the hotel by an interpol agent considering them persons of interest. Uh oh. Luckily, they knew they'd kept the synthskin masks on the whole time. [[Moth]] thought quickly to explain what they were doing there and make the relationship with the J fit the facts, but not reveal them as runners. She had met him at a party at a club last night. He had invited her back to this hotel where he had rented many rooms, including one she could use after he passed out. She had never been in a hotel this posh, and was so excited she wanted to show her friends - the other two - and invited them over. It was so fun to have access to the good kitchen that she'd gone out for groceries and come back and made croissants. (True!) She ~~active~~ just the right amount of ~~nervous~~ that she was in trouble for the drug use, partying with the J, and only knew him in that context. It was sufficiently convincing that they got away! It was pretty clear they ought to avoid any more calls or contact with the J, but nothing else was planned or needed.

	They came up to the service entrance to the Eiffel Tower area. [[Nitro]] had the SUV all set with the fireworks company logo and brand.

They came up to the service entrance to the Eiffel Tower area. [[Nitro]] had the SUV all set with the fireworks company logo and brand. They had all the forged licenses and permits to make it look like an administrative error that the whole area had been rented to Saeder-Krupp over top of their permit. They conned their way past the gate guard and his manager - a Saeder-Krupp executive. The approach was to stick to the story that they were there to do legitimate business and were such a small company. They really needed this job. They were friendly and flexible, behaving just like real workers would do in this situation. Trying to be flexible, but with no authority to do anything but proceed. [[Moth]] took the lead in the con, and [[Nitro]] supplied the excellent idea to keep asking to at least get everything set up while they waited for word from their boss if their firework show could be delayed. Eventually, they got permission to set up just as planned.

			Everything was ready! They had the fireworks on a timer. They used [[Nitro]]'s drones and [[Zephyr]]'s spirit to make sure the fireworks weren't disturbed in the intervening hours before 10 pm. But they had dodged every source of conflict. No one had any reason to interfere with them.

			Success!

			They hurried back to the airport only to discover that he had only booked them commercial coach flights home. [[Nitro]] had to work with his fixer to arrange for his SUV to be sent back on a cargo plane, but it was easily arranged.

He thought he caught a glimpse of Lofwyr himself! He moved into paranoid action, shutting their blinds. And unwittingly foiling an attempt by interpol to watch their room. The J had arrived at the hotel and stopped by to say hello, give hugs, eat a croissant, and order them crazy expensive champagne. He seemed high out of his mind.

			They arrived safely in Paris, well disguised. The J had reserved a room for them in an incredibly nice hotel overlooking the eiffel tower. 5 stars elegant and luxurious. They spent less than a second considering if staying there was the wisest choice. It was clearly the most fun choice.

			The got to the hotel about 1 am, with the fireworks needing to go off at 10 pm. Plenty of time.

			[[Zephyr]] confirmed that the hotel had wonderful supplies for summoning. A garden. Expensive magical chalk. He drew circles within circles within circles, working on ritually summoning and binding a strong spirit of the air. In this case, the smell of fresh baked goods on a Paris morning.
